“Who are you?” he asked, rising up into a push-up position while going deep into her pleasure. “Who…” Again his inquiry was interrupted by her eager lips, mouth, and tongue as she pulled him down to her. She grabbed at his ears, urging his stroke to quicken by arching upward.
Her thighs were taunt, her arms muscular, her scent familiar.
Within moments he exploded inside her and together their breathing bated and undulated, until eventually he slid from her tightness and fell over to the side of her.
In the darkened room, his mouth opened as he voiced the impossible question. “Romia?” he asked her.
The woman was still for the first time since he became aware of her presence. Suddenly rising up, she hovered over him. It may have been his imagination, but her eyes were clearly seen for the first time tonight. That is before, with a short, quick movement of her hand to the side of his head, she rendered him unconscious.
“Sleep well, my love,” she said. “I shall visit you again one day,” she promised.
“So are you happy now?” Royale asked, surprising her with his presence.
Again he’d followed her, found her, seemingly knowing her next move. She’d parked over five blocks away and in the darkness of the night she’d run back to her motorcycle that waited for her. Reaching the bike, she stopped abruptly at the sight of Royale leaning against the building dressed in his normal black attire. Only tonight he wore no mask. He looked like a normal young man just out for an evening ride. She smiled broadly, unable to hold on to her formally tight expression. She smiled a lot these days and with good reason. The trip to the convent had revealed to them both many secrets that changed their lives in a good way.
“Very,” she answered, pulling on the skull cap she had in her pocket and then sliding her helmet onto her head. She mounted her motorcycle.
Royale mounted his, parked next to hers, as well. Before sliding his helmet over his woolly locks, he grinned without looking at her directly.
Together they drove off toward the direction of the rising sun.
